Happy new year.
8 years ago
I know I have not put as much up here. A big part of that is that much of what I put up from my other stories won't fit here, and I sadly only have so many hours to create and so much physical/mental energy. You know it seems like forever ago that I was sure I'd never be able to say that again. Still feels surreal. Still has me worried I'll end up burning out.
It's been a crazy year though and I wanted to make sure my friends here know I'm grateful to them. I don't think I will ever be 'fixed', and part of me feels guilty at the idea of trying. But I'm less broken and I owe it to the people around me. Both those I talk to every day and those I don't see as much as I like. Something I need to fix at some point thanks to YIM going belly up.
I did put up a few things here, though. Things that represent what I feel is some of my best work. Hopefully I will do that again, and I'm contemplating a few other ideas. Who knows, maybe some day I can start to take trades and requests beyond the once or twice a year things I do with people I know well and know will understand if a super short story takes me half a year to get my head around. For now, well, The year sucked in many ways. but I want to let you all know wehre I am and that I am thinking of everyone.

Happy New Years. May this year find you happier, wiser, and may the pain of yesteryear begin the slow process of beginning to dull.
Still thank you very very much. Hope you have a great year.
